I Beg your pardon are you telling me that Im immature??? No but before I proceeded in my testimony I wanted to know how old you were because if you were under 30 you maybe able to relate and if you were way over 30 you may not be able to relate....... I married at 31 and to me that seemed old and the end of the world while I was waiting but to the woman who 45 and is out of child bearing years that may seem very young...... Sis calm down that is the only reason why  |

Its all good, everybodu intitled to there opinion I respect that, I totally agree with what everyone is sayin.. No sweetie it's not an opinion....... I wanted to encourage you to hold on and keep living for God and that it will all work out and to let you know that I married at 31 and was on the verge of committing suicide approximately one year before the Lord blessed me with my husband.... so don't give up that easy........ I will PM you..................  |

You know what bothers me about this??
It seems as if you dont know what the Lord's will for your life in this area is.
God will make HIS will known. All you have to do is ask Him and then you will know how to conduct your life accordingly.

Thank you for letting me know that I don't know what the will of God is for my life.... I say this with all due respect to bro giants, because he is bringing some GREAT wisdom on this thread as one of those Godly men you are wanting and waiting to be found by. I think you actually DO know GOD's will for your life. I believe that is exactly why you feel as you do about desiring a mate in your life. It just ain't happening when you might want it to...like RIGHT NOW, lol! I gladly offer you some sistacknowledgement that being single can be seriously trying for a woman who deeply desires to be married, especially a woman of GOD. But even at almost twice your age, I truly agree with sis lanl that it's way too soon for you to even be trying to figure out how to give up gracefully. Take the wisdom that's being offered here about what to do with yourself while you're seeking and waiting on GOD...and keep right on asking, seeking, knocking for HIM to deal with the desire that is so deeply in your heart. |

Thank you for the kind words kieta you have such a sweet spirit, Ive just been discouraged lately and been going through alote the last couple monthes. Not just in this area of my life.
I try not to care so much about finding a husband, if God chooses not to give me a husband than I will just have to Deal with it and accept being single.....

Thank you for letting me know that I don't know what the will of God is for my life.... This is making me discourged as this post goes on Maybe I don't have any purpose for my life and maybee there isnt nobody for me just learn to live with that......Ive been this long without anybody so I will survive....I totally rest my case. I want to share a little story with you my little sister. It began before the foundation of the world...now I'll fast track to October, 1962, forty five years ago. It was opening night of Western Pentecostal Bible College. Students from all over the world had come for Bible College Training in preparation for ministry. During the evening my eyes fell on a pretty native girl from Vancouver Island. She looked boring. I learned later from her that when someone pointed me out to her, she said, "I hope no one introduces me to that guy, he's crazy!" Her early maturity was noted and she was appointed dorm 'Ma' I couldn't help but notice how the young ladies gravitated to her for advise and how she excelled in her studies and how she loved to pray. Although she still thought I was crazy, she noted how I loved to sing and minister on the streets, the love of Jesus. Both of us would have denied we were looking for mates as we were there to prepare for Gods work. As I began to get interested in her, she showed absolutely no interest in me. This year in October 2, we will celebrate our 42nd anniversary. We have pioneered two churches and pastored another. I am in semi retirement (no such thing) Sargent Major in our local Salvation Army corps. I train future soldiers. Don't be in a hurry and don't be anxious. Concentrate on being Gods leading lady and your lover, partner, husband will be provided when both you and he are ready in Gods time. "Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard the things that God hath prepared for those that love Him."  |

ok I see I have to clear up some things here because I have been misquoted and misunderstood. First off allow me to apoligize because it was not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings in this manner. However allow me to CLEAR UP what I said because what I said has been misread and misunderstood. PIWID has had an ongoing question in this thread which cause me to make the statement I made . Lets examine this for a second please "then how do you know if that is what your calling is, how do you know if God wants you to be alone and never marry?  ??" " With the rate im going I will probably grow old alone, I was hoping that it wasn't the Lords will that I will end up alone. If its the Lord will I just have to learn to accept it...." "if God chooses not to give me a husband than I will just have to Deal with it and accept being single..... " Do you see what I see?? Now lets examine what i actually said... "It seems as if you dont know what the Lord's will for your life in this area is. " I said IT SEEMS as if you dont know.. Examine your statement above and you can see why it seems to me that you may not know simply because you have not made a statement that declares that YOU KNOW that it is GOD's desire for you to be married. You have stated your desire to be married. There is nothing wrong with that in the least. You have said however several times things that amount too " well if its God's will for me then it will happen and if it isnt then I will just deal with it.. " That IMO doesnt tell me whether you do know or you dont know.. which is why I said it SEEMS as if... Can you see my sister why I made the statement I made Now lets clear up the SECOND misunderstaning... Your statement "Thank you for letting me know that I don't know what the will of God is for my life" I did not even remotely say this at all. I did NOT tell you that you do not know the will of GOD for your life. Here again is what I said "It seems as if you dont know what the Lord's will for your life in this area is. " It SEEMS ( I didnt say whether you did or didnt... I cant tell from your posts whether you do or not ) that you dont know.. IN THIS AREA I made no comment whatsoever on you knowing the will of God for yoru ENTIRE LIFE.. I commented on one area.. The one we have been discussing... And I stand by what I have been saying all along... If you are unsure or you want to be sure.. ASK GOD... and He will reveal HIS will to you and then you can conduct yourself accordingly.. Again I apologize if what I said hurt your feelings.. That was not my intention. However I believe also I was misunderstood and hopefully this post can clarify that.. |

You ask a question to mere mortals and than seem to get upset when someone expresses their opinion……… We on this BB can’t tell you to go to Dave and Busters because that’s where all the godly men hang out…… But based upon the Holy Ghost that resides in each of us who at one time has felt or is feeling your pain can empathize with you and offer godly wisdom and instruction…… You talk about your frustration with being single and yet when you hear sound advice you take it as an attack without really listening or paying attention to what is really being said…….. You are 27 and in NO WAY is your life over and neither is there NO WAY that God couldn’t bless you with a husband at 30 years old or at 35 for that matter….. What is it at 30 or 35 you can’t do at 27? Nothing……. Sister learn to be patient and learn to listen……… You know one area that we as women must be broken in is the area of submissiveness and I say this with all due respect but as a woman of God it should be easy to listen to a man of God (whether he is your husband or not) when sound biblical advice is being given without taken offence to what is being said……… |
